Surgery exposes professionals to significant physical and psychological risks, including intense exertion, prolonged static postures, and repetitive gestures, often leading to musculoskeletal pain. International studies report prevalence rates above 90%, linked to long procedures and poor ergonomics, alongside exposure to biological and chemical hazards, radiation, toxic smoke, and chronic stress.
